How many points did Nikola Jokic score tonight against LA Clippers? (April 21)

Nikola Jokic's 26-point triple-double went in vain as the LA Clippers edged out the Denver Nuggets 105-102 in Game 2 of the 2025 NBA playoffs on Monday. Jokic was yet to heat up as the Denver Nuggets trailed 55-52 despite starting proceedings with a 3, but was yet to make a scoring impact after.

He had five points as the second quarter winded down, coupled with three rebounds, four assists, and two steals at halftime. Jokic regrouped and later ended the game with 26 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, and three steals. He ended with shooting 8-16 from the field and 4-8 from the three-point line.

The 3x NBA MVP comes into the game averaging rocksolid numbers. He ended his regular season with 29.6 points on 57.6% shooting from the field and 41.7% from the deep, 12.7 rebounds, and 10.2 assists.

NBA analyst labels Nikola Jokic's TD3 game 'super weird'

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), NBA analyst Kevin O'Conner called it a 'super weird' game for Jokic. Noting a few more observations, he wrote:

"Super weird game for Nikola Jokic. Missed free throws, sloppy turnovers, that strange shot where he thought the clock was running out. Uncharacteristic moments."

Jokic's struggles were evident, but the big continued to be a force on both ends of the floor in a game where there were more than a few erratic plays. The Nuggets will hope that their star bounces back in the next game when they play the third and fourth matchups at the Intuit Dome.
